The paper presents theories to predict the direct tensile strength of concrete reinforced with short, discontinuous fibers uniformly dispersed and randomly oriented in the matrix. These theories are based on a law of mixtures approach and an effective fiber spacing concept which take into account th

Mechanisms of tensile fracture of concrete are described. A model is developed for an idealized material. The amount of simultaneous cracking and the path of each crack depend on the rate of stressing. The fracture energy and the tensile strength have been determined as functions of the rate of load
This paper presents some micromechanical and macromechanical test data for steel fiber reinforced concrete at normal (22Β°C) and at low (-50Β°C) temperatures. Micromechanical tests were in the form of fiber pull-out tests with the fiber aligned in the direction of the applied pull-out load. In the mac
